The Art of Writing for Children - Wednesday evenings in Mariposa. Some things are easier to do than they look. A well written children’s book appears simple, but simple takes work. Writing books for children is very different than other genres, because the ultimate audience is kids, but it also must appeal to publishers, editors, consumers and librarians who are all adults. During this course taught over 4 weeks you’ll discover the wide variety of styles and formats of current books, develop writing skills, get an inside look at publishing and have a chance to play with your writing. This is an entertaining and informative class for anyone with a love of children's literature and an interest in writing or illustrating books.
California Arts Council Announces Arts License Plate Fees Are Charitable Deductions! A recent clarification is especially helpful for businesses and residents looking to support arts statewide. Sales & renewals of the Arts Plate account for over 60% of the CAC’s budget. Currently the state's per capita investment in the arts is around 10 cents per person even with the Arts Plate funds, putting California in last place compared to other states in the nation.
